Android and Linux, along with major updates to LEADTOOLS Document, Medical and Multimedia technology for

LEADTOOLS Anywhere

LEADTOOLS Anywhere extends LEAD Technologies' award winning LEADTOOLS
Imaging SDKs to every major development platform. This initiative began last
year with the release of SDKs for HTML5 and WinRT. The HTML5 SDKs made it
possible to develop zero footprint web applications and WinRT laid the necessary
foundation for porting LEADTOOLS to other native platforms. With LEADTOOLS 18,
LEAD has further expanded the reach of its Imaging SDKs by offering native
libraries for iOS, OS X, Android and Linux development. All core LEADTOOLS
imaging technology is natively supported in each of these platforms, including
viewing, annotation and markup, OCR, OMR, forms processing, 1D and 2D barcode,
PDF, DICOM and support for over 150 file formats and 200 image processing
functions.

Changes to the LEADTOOLS Product Line

With the changes brought by LEADTOOLS Anywhere, the LEADTOOLS product line
has been streamlined to make it easier to select what you need. Though there are
fewer products and add-ons, each is packed with more features than ever before!
